INFORMATION_____________________________________________________
Short wave reception
Your radio can receive signals in a number of frequency bands. It does no\
t take long to get
used to tuning to FM and MW stations, since these stations are always at\
 the same places
on the tuning scale because they broadcast at fixed wavelengths and freq\
uencies. 
Unfortunately, this is not always the case with short wave stations. Due to atmospheric 
conditions, short wave stations must frequently broadcast on different wavelengths. Most
short wave bands are available all over the world and can be used by international 
broadcasters. At present these are the only wavelengths which provide li\
steners with direct
reception over long distances. For this reason, short wave frequencies are not only used by
radio stations, but also by other users such as amateur radio enthusiast\
s, shipping, aircraft
and radio navigation systems.
If you want to listen to a particular SW station, you need to know the precise frequency and
wavelength. Many short wave stations will send you broadcasting schedules which give you
the information you need. You can also download the information from the Internet.

SECURITE ET ENTRETIEN__________________________________________
Cet appareil est conçu pour la diffusion de signaux sonores. Toute autre utilisation est for-
mellement exclue.
Tenez l’appareil à l’abri de l’humidité (projections d’\
eau). Ne posez pas de récipients contenant
des liquides (vases ou autres) sur l’appareil. Ces récipients po\

 plupart des meubles sont
recouverts de vernis, de peinture ou de matières plastiques et que ces revêtements \
contiennent
des additifs chimiques. Ces additifs peuvent entre autres attaquer le ma\
tériau des pieds de
votre appareil et laisser ainsi sur les meubles des traces indéléb\
iles ou difficiles à enlever. 
N’utilisez pas de détergents, ceux-ci risqueraient d’abîmer \
le boîtier. Nettoyez l’appareil à
l’aide d’une peau de chamois propre et humide. N’ouvrez jamais \
le boîtier de l’appareil.
